Chapter 1 Introduction
W322U utilizes the latest wireless networking
technology, IEEE802.11n (Draft 2.0), and can be
greatly compatible backwards with 802.11b/g
standards, Provides 300Mbps receiving rate and
300Mbps sending rate, which multiples wireless
transmission range and reduces “dead spots” in the
wireless coverage area.
Soft AP supported by W322U can help you establish
wireless LAN networking fastly. Besides, WPS (Wi-Fi
Protected Setup) encryption methods can free you
from remembering the long passwords. Moreover,
complete WMM support makes your voice and video
more smooth. Especially supporting PSP, NDS and WII
connections with Xlink Kai will be your best choice to
enjoy on-line gaming.
All in all, W322U is a cost-effective Wireless-N USB
Adapter with high-performance and further wireless
coverage.
